lpv:translated text	"I welcome the fact that, instead of a directive, we have a regulation on the labelling of tyres, which is the result of a suggestion by Parliament. From November 2012, tyres will be labelled according to their fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise emissions. European citizens will have more information to select the right tyres so as to reduce fuel costs and to help reduce energy consumption. They can thus make a more environmentally friendly choice and reduce their carbon footprint. Moreover, labelling will lead to increased competition among manufacturers. This labelling is beneficial from an environmental point of view. It should be noted that road transport is responsible for 25% of carbon dioxide emissions in Europe. Tyres can play an important role in reducing CO emissions because they are responsible for 20 to 30% of the total energy use of vehicles. For passenger cars, more energy efficient tyres can save up to 10% on fuel costs. I therefore voted in favour."@en1
